The software allows you to do basic monitor functions (pretty much the same ones you can do in your original monitor program.)   Eventually I would like to add breakpoint capability to the software, but that is a ways off.  All of the functions are described in the pdf I uploaded earlier.  Sorry to disappoint!!

Hi Dan!  I keep forgetting about that PDF file!  Yes, the DSKY does
what I was asking about.  It supports the "deposit" and "examine"
functions on memory.

This is really great!  You guys did an excellent job on this board!

Thanks and have a nice day!
